The first generation of this model had integrated metal legs which were modified in the later versions because they had a tendency to bend. The legs on this example have remained straight, possibly thanks to what looks like an original rail fixed to the back for transportation which was not removed. The dimple doors are replacements in a thicker ply than the thin original doors which were renowned for warping and splitting. There is a veneer patch repair to the top right hand side of the top surface.
